We are belatedly informed by the Government that the invasion of Iraq has cost the UK £4bn over a period of almost four years.

The NHS is desperate for more funding yet we go on pouring money into a hopeless cause.

The situation in Iraq is obviously out of control of the coalition forces, it seems a civil war is now taking place.

How flawed the decision to go to war, the situation is far worse than four years ago: 103 British soldiers lost plus 1,500 American and untold numbers of Iraqi civilians.

Democratic elections have taken place yet no proper government is in office and the position becomes more desperate day by day.

Our soldiers are fighting a war and they do not know who the enemy is. It seems our only hope to end the war is when the two Bs have left office. The position in Iraq is futile, we must bring our soldiers home before there are more catastrophic events.
